Sagittaria aginashi
is a perennial herb occurring in marshes. It forms many small
corms in the leaf axils to make vegetative reproductions, not
runners. With pedicles and leaves radicating from roots directly,
those blade portions are arrowhead-shaped, i.e., elongated and
triangular, and have the two basal lobes prolonged downwards. Dorsal
lobes are longer than the other lateral ones. Leaf tips are not
sharp, regardless of lateral or dorsal ones. Long flower stems,
30-80cm in height, set whorled racemes in which white 3-petaled
flowers, 1.5-2cm in diameter, bloom. Bloom time: June-October. |
